So, yes, people want Supes to inflict pain... but obviously with some (very important) conditions!

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that folks want Supes to assault innocent bystanders. The pain and suffering should be applied to suitably deserving villains. In broad terms, Superman belongs to the action genre. And super feats like saving a crashing plane or a bus-load of nuns only take you so far. Ultimately, we need some mano-a-mano violence.

Actually, I think I even voted “yes” in the “Should Superman Kill” poll.
